The cost of your Travel Insurance for Diabetes will depend on
Yes, you must declare diabetes as a pre-existing medical condition when buying Travel Insurance. You will be asked which type of diabetes you have and if you have any other conditions as part of the medical screening process.
Even if you’re still at the prediabetes stage, you will still need to declare this during the medical screening process. You’ll still need to get your prediabetes covered as it could lead to you needing medical attention abroad.
You may have been placed on blood pressure tablets due to the diagnosis, or you might have had a dosage changed due to prediabetes. This will affect the type of treatment and the cost of the treatment you may need while away.
It is not enough to rely on the GHIC card, especially if you have diabetes. While the GHIC (formerly EHIC) covers your immediate medical costs while you’re in Europe, it does not cover any other additional medical costs – for example, transport to and from the hospital.
The GHIC also does not cover any other holiday mishaps, like cancellations or lost luggage. The UK Government recommends that all travellers get the right Travel Insurance policy, in addition to the GHIC.
